Historical Delayed Birth

Prior to 1913 the State of North Carolina did not require the official recording of vital records (Birth/Death). Residents who did not have a birth certificate recorded were later required to apply for a delayed birth certificate.

All delayed birth certificates on record in the Buncombe County Register of Deeds office are fully indexed. To review these listings using the online document search, please click here. You may also visit the office to view records and do genealogical research in person.
